Powerful Philosophies Used by Entrepreneurs That Have Succeeded in Business and Earned Millions

How to separate yourself from the rest of the playing field

I have started many successful companies. I followed a plan, and several of those companies returned millions for my effort. I write this article to share some proven philosophies that I adapted from reading about others' success and then applied those concepts to my startups. I expect that they will work for you too.

Wealth

Everyone seeks wealth, but not everyone achieves riches. Why is that? One answer potentially is they do not have the emotion or desire to act on their dream. Many people have too many excuses.

Excuses range from I do not have time to do anything else. I do not have money to pursue my dreams. I must feed my family, and that takes all my energy. Don’t you think I could fill this page with excuses? Of course, I could.

Emotions

No aspect of our reasoning is more important to the value and meaning of our way of life than emotion! Sometimes emotions have manifested in people to the point that no one or anything will stand in their way. They have lassoed a dream through their creative imagination, and now their emotions are driving them towards victory.

The great German Philosopher Immanuel Kent memorably said in the 1700s, “Happiness is not an ideal of reason but of imagination.”

We must imagine our future filled with success. Imagining such a fantastic future may be difficult for some, but that is what it takes to get your emotions flowing.

Emotions Flowing

Why not seek to become a millionaire if you desire? At a minimum, why not seek financial prosperity? It can set you free. Why not become a winner?

I bet you know countless people who will not read a word to self-improve and seemingly expect riches to beat a path to their door. Those people will never achieve the wealth and success that they are capable of obtaining.

Outside of the lottery or a rich relative leaving them money, they will remain at their current life stage. In short, they are not willing to pay the price of expanding their life riches. They are stuck. Even though the opportunity is everywhere around all of us, they are stuck. They neither think nor imagine anything better in their life, nor if they do, their ideas soon fade back to their everyday routines.

There first must be a strong emotion triggering an overwhelming desire to succeed in your search for success as it was in mine. If you can do that, you are on your way to act and receive whatever type of wealth you seek.

There was a woman recently on Television that taught Calligraphy. In other words, she taught people who wanted to write cursive better. I have often wondered why some people write well, so she had my full attention. It turns out the answer is simple. Practice. It is a dedication to practice like that of learning how to play an instrument.

She explained that different muscles control how one writes, and according to her, if you practice enough using those muscles, you too can have picture-perfect handwriting and hold your own with the best of them. Who knew?

Emotions to actual Practice

One keyword for success in almost everything we seek to accomplish is obtained by practice. Practice makes perfect in handwriting, baking, sports, untold other ways, and undoubtedly true in creating wealth.

Wealth to you can mean financial independence or a combination of other vital matters in your life. Whatever your goal, follow your plan, summon up emotion and desire — practice programming your brain to succeed and remove any shackles. Use your imagination. Start closing that gap and shoot for the future. Fill your conscious mind with your plan, and your subconscious will kick in and lend a hand.

Winners keep ideas flowing and recorded.

Did you know that Bill O’Reilly is the most successful author in the World of non-fiction series? His “Killing” series has been over the moon in sales. I recall O’Reilly stating that the title “Killing” came to him at night lying in bed. In this case, I would wager that Bill O’Reilly was always preparing, following his plan, and endlessly thinking about his first book. Guess what? His subconscious rewarded him with a title. From there, he made history.

When I was formulating my plan to become financially independent, “impossible “tried its best to be the forefront thought in my mind. Believe me, when I tell you staying positive about most things is a challenge, but I suspect you already know that, however, that battle is a must-win.

Repeat new ideas and thoughts until those thoughts become the standard. As adults, the estimate is that we have around 3000 thoughts an hour. Try to force the majority of those thoughts into being productive for you and your family.

Successful Plan

Plans are not challenging to write out if you have a clear vision of what you want in the future. Take a young man named Kyle MacDonald as an example. Kyle imagined he could barter his way to riches. His problem was that he had nothing of significant value to barter.

Let’s face the truth, most of us would have thrown that idea away if we felt we had nothing to barter, but not Kyle.

Instead, Kyle sat down and called upon his imagination to help him with a starting plan. Kyle came to believe that he could start bartering with one red paper clip and doing so online. His goal was to end up with a house. How imaginative is that?

Kyle could see his end goal. He wrote out his plan step by step. He believed he could achieve it, and in 2005 Kyle put his plan into action. Kyle then made 14 successful barters online in less than a year. His last trade was for a two-story home. Kyle did not lose sight of his dream and completed his goal in less than a year.

Think about what Kyle did. He took one red paper clip and visualized that paperclip could become a house. Kyle was determined to succeed.

Determined emotions, desire, a solid plan, practice, and belief in yourself will separate you from those who never take action, and you could be next joining others in the winner’s circle!
